Introducon ibaInCycle
2 Introducon
ibaInCycle monitors all types of cyclically repeang processes, including recurring sequences
and rotang components, such as rollers and gears.
Process signals from cyclical processes ideally exhibit similar behavior within a cycle. ibaInCycle
compares the “learned” or dened good process with the actual process signal and signals de-
viaons immediately, for example via alarm message or e-mail. In addion, a feedback in the
plant control can be implemented to automacally adjust the corresponding parameters.
Since ibaInCycle is seamlessly integrated in ibaPDA, the full ibaPDA connecvity is available to
acquire all possible process signals in a system and to use them to dene the states. ibaInCycle
provides dierent modules, which are congured in the I/O manager of ibaPDA:
■ The InCycle expert module oers a variety of individual conguraon opons for analyzing
the cycles.
■ The InCycle auto-adapng module automacally learns the behavior of the cycles in dierent
process condions and uses this as a reference to automacally idenfy deviaons.
2.1 ibaInCycle (ibaPDA)
ibaInCycle is an integrated technology module of the process data recording system ibaPDA.
ibaInCycle oers features to analyze and display cyclical processes, both for recurring process
steps as well as for rotang mechanics.
An ibaInCycle license makes it possible to use 4 InCycle modules. If more modules are needed,
an addional ibaInCycle license must be purchased for each 4 addional modules.

2.3 ibaInCycleproles
All InCycle proles with congurable calculaon rules use proles for the conguraon. These
proles can be used to reuse calculaon rules and exchanged between dierent systems or
ibaPDA and ibaAnalyzer. Proles without know-how protecon can be exported and imported
as a le in xml format.
Proleendings
The exported proles of the individual modules have the following le extensions:
■ InCycle-Expert: .inCycleProle
■ InCycle-Auto-Adapng: .inCycleTeachProle

4.1 ArrangingandstructuringibaInCyclemodules
Below the ibaInCycle interface in the I/O manager in ibaPDA, the user can establish a hierarchic
structure, e.g. in accordance with the plant structure, by means of directories. Such folders can
be created by right-clicking on the ibaInCycle interface or an exisng folder.
Fig. 1: Context menu of the ibaInCycle interface
If several folders were created on the same hierarchical level, they can be marked by mouse-
click and moved within the level by using the key combinaon <Ctrl>+<cursor up> or <cursor
down> or by drag & drop.
Fig. 2: Context menu of the ibaInCycle subdirectory
InCycle modules can be moved to directories by drag & drop. New modules can be directly add-
ed to a folder via the context menu, too. The folders can be renamed just as you like.
Fig. 3: Context menu of ibaInCycle subfolder, several subdirectories
Based on this hierarchic structure, ibaInCycle groups are automacally created in the "Groups"
secon in the I/O manager. These groups are locked and cannot be modied. You cannot add
signals to a locked group or its sub-group(s).

4.2 Know-howprotecon
4.2.1 Introducon
The know-how protecon area oers mechanisms for protecng intellectual property associat-
ed with certain calculaons and/or sengs in ibaPDA, which are considered as user know-how
worth protecng.
In principle, the know-how protecon can be applied to all module types which use proles,
such as
■ InSpectra and InCycle modules
■ Computaon module
■ Lookup table
■ Parameter set
■ Process condion
The following protecve funcons are realized:
■ Protecon against change
The protected elements cannot be changed without entering a password.
■ Read protecon
The conguraon of the protected elements is not displayed without entering a password.
■ Dongle protecon
The protected elements are only executed on systems that run with a previously registered
dongle. Several dongle numbers can be registered.
The protecon is realized via so-called protecon schemes that, once dened, can always be
applied again.
Fig. 5: Conguraon of the know-how protecon
14 1.1
The ibaInCycle interface in ibaPDA ibaInCycle
The basic procedure is as follows:
1. Generang a protecon scheme
2. Applying a protecon scheme to an element
4.2.2 Creangaproteconscheme
1. Open the I/O manager and highlight the branch Knowhow protecon in the interface tree
under the node General.
2. Click on the buon with the green plus symbol to add a new rule.
The "New scheme" dialog opens.
The parameters ID and version are automacally generated.
3. Now enter the other parameters and then click on <OK>.
The sengs and entries to be made for a protecon scheme are specically as follows:
Author(oponal)
Enter the name of the author here.
Copyright(oponal)
You can enter a note text here about the copyright of the elements protected by this scheme.
“Onlypermitexecuononsystemswithoneofthefollowinglicensenumbers”
Enable this opon if the elements protected by this scheme are only to be executed on systems
with certain license numbers (dongle protecon). Then enter all respecve dongle or license
numbers in the eld below. You can easily enter the number of the respecve connected dongle
using the <Add connected dongle> buon. If you do not enable this opon, there is no execu-
on restricon of the protected elements with respect to the license number.
Password
Enter a password that consists of at least 8 characters. Spaces are not permied. You will need
the password for the following acons:
1.1 15
ibaInCycle The ibaInCycle interface in ibaPDA
■ Viewing the conguraon of a protected element
■ Changing the conguraon of a protected element
■ Changing or removing the protecon scheme
Note
What to do, if you don't know the password anymore?
The password of a protecon scheme is encrypted and saved in the I/O congu-
raon. Note the password and store it in a save place where you can nd it.
If you forgot the password you won't be able to open or edit protected proles
for ibaInSpectra or ibaInCycle, for instance. Because you cannot reset the pass-
word by yourself, the only way to x it is to save the I/O conguraon of your
system and send the conguraon to the iba support desk. You may as well take
the project le or simply generate a support le over the Help menu and send it
to the iba support desk, conjoined with the request for reseng the protecon
scheme passwords.
iba can only remove the passwords but is not able to retrieve them. iba erases
the passwords from the conguraon and send it back to you. Then you can load
this conguraon into your system. Finally, you can dene a new password.
4.2.3 Applicaonofaproteconscheme
An element can always only be protected by one protecon scheme, but a protecon scheme
can be applied to several elements.
If you have elements in your ibaPDA conguraon worth protecng, such as InSpectra proles,
then these elements are shown in the table below in the dialog.
In order to protect one or more elements, rst highlight the desired scheme in the list of the
protecon schemes (top le).
Then highlight the relevant lines at the boom by seng a check mark in the selecon box and
click on the buon <Protect>.
Then enter the password for the respecve protecon scheme and click <OK>.
4.2.4 Removingtheprotecon
In order to remove the protecon for one or more elements, highlight the corresponding lines
in the table below in the dialog by seng a check mark in the selecon box. Then click on the
buon <Unprotect>.
Then enter the password for the respecve protecon scheme and click <OK>.
If you want to remove the protecon for several elements at the same me that are protected
with dierent schemes, then you have to enter the passwords for all respecve schemes in the
password dialog.

The ibaInCycle interface in ibaPDA ibaInCycle
4.2.5 Imporngandexporngprotectedelements
When elements are protected, they can be exported and imported. The conguraon of the
elements is encrypted in the export les (*.proteconScheme). You therefore have an easy way
of spreading protected know-how to dierent ibaPDA systems.
For an export, highlight the desired element and click <Export scheme>. Then select the desired
storage path, enter a le name and close the dialog by pressing <Save>.
If you have highlighted several elements for export, then a prompt dialog appears asking wheth-
er all highlighted elements should be saved in the export le or whether you want to select
more rst.
If you want to import a protected element le, click on <Import scheme>, select the desired le
(*.proteconScheme) and close the dialog by pressing <Open>.
4.2.6 Unlockingprotecteditems
If you want to access protected items in the applicaon, then you must rst unlock the respec-
ve item by entering the password for the protecve rule.
If, for example, you want to view the conguraon of the protected InSpectra proles, then you
must rst enter the password in the “Congure proles” dialog and click on <Unlock>.
The access remains protected unl the I/O manager is closed again.
Fig. 6: ibaInSpectra example: The password must be entered in order to view protected proles.
